Does lower consciousness materials lower your higher consciousness

[Conscious life]

Does lower consciousness stuffs and materials will lower your higher consciousness? 

[Loving Radiance]

It is useful to study lower consciousness to recognize higher consciousness.

You can still cling to, identify with and be attached to lower consciousness material. If you are not conscious, you can be sucked in. At a certain point you discover your own selfishness because you studied it on others. Then you will have the insight that you are them, vive versa.

It is like hide and seek, where you are simultaneously hiding and seeking yourself. It gives me a good feeling when I see that I am not different from others, that there are still parts of humanness which I want to deny.
